The real question is which is the best streaming service…Spotify or Apple Music? For years these two streaming services have been competing head-to-head to earn the most listeners on their platform or maybe be labeled as the #1 service in the whole nation. As we know, each service has some sort of premium to enhance your listening experience. Recently, Spotify has announced that they’ll be carrying out their “Music Pro” Hifi Music add-on. Earlier mentioned in the beginning of 2021, our long-awaited advancement is arriving to the app this year. But will this be enough to outlast the competition?
With an additional cost of 6$, one of the many features that will be inserted throughout the year for the Music Pro is the ability to remix your songs with the power of AI. For example, you could take about 2 or more songs and mash them up together or make transitions! You could also create mashups and mega-mixes with various artists. Another perk is early access to concert tickets, meaning that you could buy the tickets from the app as you please. While you enjoy all of these benefits, the real perk is the sound quality, with this premium you’ll get to experience high-quality HiFi audio and lossless CD-quality streaming! So, your songs will sound nearly identical to when they were first originally recorded without any changes, along with no longer losing your music and audio files.
However, is Spotify really making its way up the race with Apple Music? Unlike Spotify. Their current subscription is set at $10.99, but in order to stream any music, you must pay this fee. Different from Spotify, Apple Music doesn’t offer a free with adds version, so accessibility ranges more to the opposing app, but is the free experience worth it? With the Apple subscription, you get high sound quality, lossless streaming, AND adjustable audio channels. Without any additional charge, Apple music has the ability of creating a movie-theatre listening experience with spatial audio, meaning that sound could come from all around you, as well as adjustments with your movements. So now you can really preform at a concert in your own bedroom and dance the night away!
The choice can be tricky, varying how much you’re benefiting from what you pay for. Both apps are available on both apple and android devices, so you can get a great music experience from anywhere. On the upside, each app offers over 100 million songs to stream, and 100k+ storage space for your downloads. Ultimately, make sure to tune into the latest updates and advancements to your streaming services, so you can change your listening party.
